Several Rugby Juniors took part and did well in the 31st Northamptonshire Junior Congress last year November 2010. See these reports for the Under 12's and Under 14's.
The 32nd Congress takes place on Saturday 19th November - a good warm up for the Warwickshire Junior Congress a week later. Download an entry form here.
Jamie Kearney has entered. Can we get enough entries to make a RJCC team?

A reminder about supervising children
We may have less adults at the club for the next few meetings so please remember that all children must be supervised because we are not able to take responsibility for them. Thanks. Sue

Geat start for juniors in the Coventry League !
Last Tuesday saw a tremendous start for our junior team in the Coventry league cup for division 3.
After a practice on Monday night of how to play with competition rules, clocks and score sheets our newcomers gained a 2-2 draw against an experienced Coventry G team.
On top board Rhys Davies played well to secure a win against Daniels Rowlands - Rhys was the one of our team who had ever played in the Coventry league!
On 2nd board Nicola Carouche won against Trevor Beesley with a very convincing attack.
On board 3 Jonathan Payne had a clear win against Trevor Gazee but threw it away at the end (better luck next time Jonathan), while on board 4 Leo Johnson had long though unsuccessful game against Tomas White. (Leo had had to come back from an all-day school outing to play in the match).
We hope to get some more games in the season so that more of our juniors can play some league chess - particularly with results like this !

Belated report on the Juniors Chess event
Where did the summer go to? Hope that you enjoyed yours and that those who have recently made the transition to 'big school' are having a good time settling in. Back on the 12 August there was a juniors event in the Library supported by Bob Wildig, Sue Sanders, John Hall and myself with some junior players lending a hand too. Rugby Art Gallery and Museum have given us the go-ahead to run another one in the Christmas Holidays so we'll be in touch then.
Meanwhile, lest we forget quite how much fun this was, here is a picture of Bob slightly flummoxed by the Marvel Super Heros chess set. :-)
It really was a great venue. As you can probably see its like chess in a goldfish bowl. We even attracted the attention of someone who who donated a three-way chess board. Thanks everyone - especially Jessica from RAGM for allowing us to use the room and publicising the event.
